Perhaps the most famous of these dreamers was Thomas Jefferson, who saw the potential of the land to support an agricultural industry that could fund a revolution and legitimize the United States as a key member in the global economy. While Jefferson was able to inspire the beginnings of Virginia Wine production, the development of the industry he dreamed of was not accomplished in his lifetime. In fact, the history of Virginia wines has been a tumultuous series of ups and downs, but in the past fifty years, we've seen the growth of a truly remarkable wine region, right in our own backyard! Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the history of Virginia wine, and taste some wines produced by the state's most influential producers with Wine Director, Erin Dudley, at the Planet Wine!Included with your ticket:Seated wine class with with Wine Director, Erin DudleyTasting of six fine wines from Virginia producersSmall serving of artisanal cheese and bread to accompany your tastingDiscounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/history-of-virginia-wines/100001999724370423 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 52.86, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Planet Wine - **lat**: 38.8240307 - **long**: -77.0585518 - **full address**: Planet Wine, 2004 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: History of Virginia Wines - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fe8f632e9e7cd4d11eb352b387a970877a7381566c5b436c5cf0a5df9b0cd734-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1788721268 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is History of Virginia Wines being held? - **A:** History of Virginia Wines takes place on Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 02 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Planet Wine, 2004 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing History of Virginia Wines? - **A:** History of Virginia Wines is organized by Planet Wine Shop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
